ClientEarth: Suggested Factual Findings The Commission can, and should, confidently make the following findings of fact in this national inquiry: 1) in relation to the science of climate change:  conclusions contained in the reports of the IPCC expressed as being ‘likely’ or ‘very likely’, may be relied upon as fact (for the purposes of satisfying the civil standard of proof) in court proceedings, and for the purposes of this investigation;  it is unequivocal that anthropogenic forcings have been the dominant cause of the observed warming of the planet since mid-century;  there is a linear and causal relationship between the concentrations of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere and the median surface global temperatures, as well as ocean acidification; and  continued greenhouse gas emissions are likely to have continued and increasing adverse effects on all natural systems and processes, through rising temperatures, varied precipitation patterns, sea level rise, increased ocean acidification and increased extreme weather events; 2) in relation to climate change and human rights:  the physical effects of climate change and ocean acidification will have adverse and significant impacts on the enjoyment of human rights in the Philippines;  climate change is a human rights issue and must be addressed in order to permit the full enjoyment of all other fundamental human rights in the Philippines; 3) in relation to the Carbon Majors:  the greenhouse gas emissions from the operations and products of the Carbon Majors have contributed to the observed global warming to date;  continued emissions of greenhouse gasses will continue to contribute to climate change, causing increased environmental harm in the future; and  such environmental harm will severely impact the Filipino people’s effective enjoyment of their internationally protected human rights. ClientEarth’s Suggested Recommendations The Government of the Philippines should fulfil its legal obligations to protect the human rights of the Filipino people by:  ensuring that its NDC remains compatible with the global temperature goal of keeping global warming well below 2 degrees Celsius (beyond which the human rights impacts of climate change will be severe); 75
